Condensed plain blocks with fine worn texture
Bold Limited Distressed shows tall heavy capitals with softly squared corners and tight inner spaces, where small pale speckles interrupt the green stems without greatly changing the outer silhouettes.

Fine grain and micro-texture excel in 300 DPI print, sublimation, and screen print rather than small vinyl weeding.
Visual anatomy & craft review
The blocks stay condensed, the corners soften just enough to avoid a hard grid, the counters close tight and the speckle sits inside the fill rather than on the edge. That fine wear is the character: the word looks printed on a worn press rather than deliberately destroyed, which is why the sample keeps two even rows on cream. The texture shows best on a flat field, so avoid placing it over a photographed surface and keep 34 pt before the small counters close.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Bold Limited Distressed’s stroke geometry.
The condensed worn blocks suit a print shop, and the heavy stems read at 56 mm on a painted panel, where the speckle survives a brush coat.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Paint a 500 by 250 mm panel: set the name at 56 mm on one row, keep the inner spaces at 4 mm minimum, and keep 22 mm of border so the softened corners stay whole.
Pre-production check
Speckles painted at 30 mm read as a failed coat; check the mask and keep the name at 50 mm or above.
The condensed blocks set an industrial heading, and the tight counters hold a two-word title at 48 pt on a page, big enough that the wear reads as texture.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 210 mm page: set the heading at 48 pt on one row, keep 18 mm beneath before the standfirst at 10 pt, and keep the block on flat colour so the speckle stays visible.
Pre-production check
Fine texture over a photographed background disappears; check the page and keep the heading on white.
The worn blocks suit a workshop banner, and the squared forms hold a short title at 52 pt across a printed sheet, clear from the far side of a shop.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A3 banner: set the title at 52 pt on one row, keep 20 mm of clear ground beneath before the class times at 13 pt, and keep 20 mm of margin all round.
Pre-production check
Small speckles printed at 24 pt look like dirty marks; check the proof and hold the title at 44 pt or above.
